Very decent. Read the book last year and wondered if it might be made into a film.

I have seen the whole series, and must say that I enjoyed it a lot.

However, the last 2-3 episodes feel very rushed, as it just skips forward very quickly; it could probably have done with having twice as many episodes, and using the extra time to develop some of the characters a bit more.

According to a friend who has read the book, the book is much better. He says the show suffered from solely focusing on the stopping of the assassination,. The book apparantly does a better job of showing his gradual adjustment and then immersion in the world of the 1960's.

I just watched the first 2 episodes on my Firestick. I'd avoided as I just thought it was a Kennedy conspiracy type program so thanks to this thread I gave it a go. I like this type of genre. Wayward Pines was another series in a similar vein.

Another watcher thanks to this thread signing in. I enjoyed it, just finished the last episode. Liked the way it looked and the music and the cars as well as the story. Agree with Ted's point about the characters could have done with being fleshed about a bit.

I read that too Gin. I quite like a lot of what he writes, particularly his restaurant reviews, but as a tv critic I disagree with practically everything he says.

Anyone sticking with this? Has rather gone off the boil a little for me.

I watched the first two episodes but haven't watched any more.

I'm still watching The Five though.

It has faded after a bright start.
But having read the book ,I thought it would make a good film , not really working as a series.

The Five is superb, probably the best thing I've watched in years actually.

I'm saving both up to "binge watch".

A lot of series lose their way half way through - some come back, others don't. What annoys me is when they conveniently tie all the loose ends up in the last 10 minutes and it feels all too rushed.
